Will Byers
William Byers, better known as Will, is a recurring character in the first season of Stranger Things and a main character in the second season. Will is the son of Joyce and Lonnie Byers, and the younger brother of Jonathan. Will is close with his mother and brother, but not with his father. Because of this, Jonathan became a much larger role model for him than their father. Ultimately Joyce and Lonnie divorced, resulting with Lonnie moving out. Joyce, Jonathan and Will remained at their home in Hawkins, Indiana. Will was best friends with Lucas and Mike from a very young age, as he met mike on the first day of kindergarten and instantly accepted his request to be friends, a memory which Mike would always treasure. In fourth greade, Dustin arrived at their school and joined their friend group. They would often gather at Mike's house to play Dungeons & Dragons; this hobby was developed as early as 1979. The four boys had a great relationship with their science teacher Mr. Clarke, and they were members in the AV Club.
On the night of November 6th, 1983, Will was abducted by a horrifying monster and taken into an alternate dimension. For a week, Will evaded the beast while his family and friends desperately searched for him. Although he was eventually rescued and returned to normal life, his time in the Upside Down left him with a mysterious connection to the alternate realm.
Will is played by Noah Schnapp, an American actor known for voicing Charlie Brown in The Peanuts Movie. He also appeared in the 2015 Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies. He returned to Stranger Things for the second season, which premiered in October 2017.
